Harvard teachers, District 50 reach accord

HARVARD – The Harvard Education Association and the District 50 school board have reached a tentative two-year agreement.

The contract, covering the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years, ends six months of negotiations.

Details are being withheld until teachers and the administration approve it.

Union leaders will present the deal to their members in a meeting Wednesday. If teachers approve, the deal will go back to the school board for ratification, likely at the regularly scheduled Jan. 16 meeting, the district said in a news release.
